Infomercials Strike Again
Saturday, March 7th, 2009
Just when I thought they couldn’t get worse, Malibu Pilates and Susan Lucci put forth a true beauty in the world of fitness infomercials. I’m not quite sure how to describe this piece of equipment, but most of the commercial left people bent over holding on to a bench with severely kyphotic posture working the legs. I guess it’s ok to sacrifice the health of your back for buns of steal right? I mean, Susan Lucci is using it so it must be good! With further investigation of this product, I found an unbelievable claim on their website: “Lose at least one size in the first 10 days, or your money back!”. Well, be prepared for a refund. So many elements go into weight loss, and this is why these commercials are so toxic. Believe me, if Malibu Pilates had created something that was the magical formula to losing weight, the whole world would know about it and they would not have a need to advertise at 5am on Saturday morning. Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think. In the meantime, I need to go use my ab roller!
